BELLEVUE — A 16-year-old boy was killed and a 17-year-old boy was seriously injured when
their car crashed on Rt. 18 near this community Sunday evening, the State Highway Patrol said.

The driver, Garrett Holmes of Bellevue, died at the scene in Seneca County’s Thompson Township,
a few miles southwest of Bellevue, the patrol’s Fremont post reported.

Dakota Schaffer, the passenger, also of Bellevue, was taken to University of Toledo Medical
Center with injuries that appeared to be life-threatening, troopers said. A hospital spokesman said
yesterday that Schaffer remained in the hospital but did not give his condition.

The car was heading southwest on Rt. 18 when it went off the left side of the road, striking a
ditch, a barn, landscape rocks and a tree.
